The Least Amount Of Awful by Jennifer Millikin

4.0

The Least Amount of Awful is my first Jennifer Millikin & I can't wait to pick up more. This was a solidly done small town, single dad trope & I am so excited to read the story two other characters of this book. The book started out as very typical single dad/she's my boss trope, but about halfway through there was true depth to the story & it caught me by surprise. I teared up, TWICE! I enjoyed both Jake and Colbie & yes even the side characters. Jake was a hot but loving dad to Robbie. Colbie, despite some family trauma, is a bad ass bitch running companies and figuring ish out.

what to expect
- small town
- single dad
- she's his boss
- emotional moments
- complex family issues

FINAL THOUGHTS: The Least Amount Of Awful really covered a wide range of family issues while executing the small town/single dad trope so well. I enjoyed all the characters in this book as well. The book isn't too dramatic and low on the angst, but it has some emotional moments that will likely cause you to tear up. Overall, the dynamic between Jake, Colbie & adorable Robbie made this book a solid story!
